My small but mighty long-term QT system has a slot for my new ORA gold maxima. Light levels in the QT vary from 100-400 PAR. Should I slowly acclimate to the light, and move it upwards or should I just get it into the right position immediately and mess with it less?
Also, is there such a thing as "too much" food in the water for filter feeding? My QT setup has incredibly stable parameters and gets a 50% daily automated water change from the outflow of the main tank, so I have the opportunity to really expose things to a very high level of particulate food that has a very high "dwell time", without noticeably increasing nitrate/phosphate etc. Just wondering if I just create soup / intermittently do very high then very low food levels / whatever...
